Yes, it is clearly a work in progress.  ;)  The red section needs to be moved
one more paragraph down.

The language in this work in progress section makes it sound like such a
continuous border should in fact not be rendered:

  Properties set on elements that are turned into anonymous block boxes still
  apply to the content of the element. For example, if a border had been set on
  the BODY element in the above example, the border would be drawn around C1
  and C2.
